Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy. [Mathew]

Of all the characters of cruelty, I consider the most despicable the one that cloaks himself in a garb of mercy.

There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.

Lenience will operate with greater force, in some instances than rigor. It is therefore my first wish to have all of my conduct distinguished by it.
